So I've spent the past couple hours trying to get a few downloaded music videos on my ipod. I used videora to convert the files to MPEG-4. I'm dragging the files into Itunes and the little Plus sign comes on saying I can drag it into itunes but it doesn't go into the program. What the hell am I doing wrong? lol

go to file add file to library and select the video from c-programfiles-videora-videos and that should work

Just had this happen last nite with my girlfriend's little brother. Did you try playing the resized videos on your computer after Videora finished? Chances are good you didn't because neither did he and the same thing was happening. The problem? The video doesn't even play when you load it in any media-playing software and iTunes will not add a video that it cannot read.

When you go to transcode a new video make sure you choose the very top-most option in the drop down box (h264/320x240/[bf0c661261c]169[/bf0c661261c]/640kbps Stereo/128kbps). After that try transcoding again and make sure you try to open it on your computer before dumping it into iTunes.

i've had the same problem but fixed it with using CuCuSoft Video Ipod Converter. Works like a charm, converts pretty quickly too. Videora didn't work at all for me. So try CuCusoft Video Ipod Converter, not a problem at all, no audio out of sync, just great -)

Now, i'm trying to figure out how to encode a video but only take one channel of the audio but no program does this. Any ideas? (i mean, i want to take the left channel of the stereo. The left is one language, the right is one language, OR in karaoke files, one side is music, the other is music and vocal)

im going to say you probably used too high a bitrate. that was my only problem, and i had the same problem as you. as for it not playing on your computer. i could only get them to play in VLC media player. chances are you don't have that, so get it and give it a shot. ill try to see if i can get the right bitrates
